I have ballet tonight, and we've finally finished our performance piece! The Spring Performance is May 15th! I haven't danced in front of an audience since I graduated High School in 2001! 9 years! Whew! And that was poms, not ballet!

Last Friday we had a special rehearsal on the stage we're using next week. I was wearing long leg warmers, because it was stop and go, and I always want to keep my legs warm. At one point in the piece, another girl in the class and I do a little duet across the stage. She wasn't able to make it to rehearsal, so I was on my own. Well, the stage was very slippery, and guess who slipped on her legwarmers, and bit it in the middle of the piece...flat on my bum? Oh yes, my friends, mio!

This is just a perfect example of how God will punish those of us who are filled with too much pride! Right as I was waiting for my cue I thought (and I kid you not), "This is my moment!", then smack! Flat on my booty!

Beautiful nail polish, I love the color you selected! I won't lie I am giggling over here, but really so sorry about your fall. Honestly I can't tell you how many times that has happened to me in ballet as well as ice skating. Like you said, very humbling! Just when I get into the groove and get a little cocky (especially in ice skating) sure enough I am on my heinie and have bruises for weeks to boot!

Great color and your nails looks awesome. In reading another post, I saw you had the leg cramps...I get those as well. I usually come flying out from under the covers and can hardly stand up. I've always heard the bananna thing!
